Alka ji, The id of the tree(s) is settled but I notice that your very pertinent question has not been addressed: 1. Does Ain flower during June (monsoon)? - YES. 2. If yes, then does it also fruit during May?
The answer to 2. is that the fruits are seen in September-October, ripen slowly (Feb-March) and remain on the tree for some months thereafter. This probably explains why you saw the fruits in May. Followed the 'better late than never' approach to your query.
